I disagree.

Again I disagree.

The point here is that organisations should not be structured via
management as the metric – good technical people should not have to
move to management in order to be promoted. Promoting good technical
people to positions of management is rarely a good move, sometimes it
works, but not as often as the system is set up to require.

Likewise a good CTO rarely makes a good CEO. 

What The D Foundation needs is a CEO who is a good CEO.
